But the Colonial Regulations do not

purport to lay down all the cases in which a

Governor ought to consult the Secretary of

definitely excepts from the permission to

incur expenditure and seek sanction afterwards,

which is given by it, cases of expenditure,

whatever the amount, which raise some question

of principle or involve a breach of some

regulation or previous ruling by the Secretary

of State. Some of the Colonies have high

monetary limits under C.R. 282; e.g., Kenya

has £2,500, and Fiji, Gold Coast and Uganda

have £1,000 and £1,000 has been proposed

de

for Trinidad. It would hardly be right for

a Governor to sanction a gratuity of £1,000

(or even of an amount a good deal less than

£1,000) to an officer without consulting the

Secretary of State first.
